Step 2: Configure network grouping

Create a peering policy to organize your viewers into peering groups based on their IP addresses. Use the API setup to keep IP addresses private from Google.

Important: Custom settings override all previous settings and apply to the entire organization. For example, if you upload a custom rules CSV file for one organizational unit, those rules will be used for everyone in your company.

Select network policies & upload network rules

Test Meet eCDN using the Random policy before uploading custom rules.

1. Sign in with an administrator account to the Google Admin console.

   If you aren’t using an administrator account, you can’t access the Admin console.

2. Go to Menu  Apps > Google Workspace > Google Meet.

   Requires having the Service Settings administrator privilege.

3. Click Meet video settings.
4. (Optional) To apply the setting only to some users, at the side, select an organizational unit (often used for departments) or configuration group (advanced). Show me how

   Group settings override organizational units. Learn more

5. Click eCDN settings.
6. Select a policy:
   • Random: Devices in the network connect randomly. Use this policy for testing only. 
   • Subnet (works currently only with IPv4):  Devices within the same block connect. Configure a fixed subnet mask of N bits so the entire IP address space is divided into /N CIDR blocks.
   • Custom rules: C Devices connect according to your custom network rules. You can also specify a fallback peering policy. The default fallback peering policy is Blocked.
   • On-premises service: Devices connect without sending IP information to Google. Choose this advanced setting to provide a custom implementation of the eCDN on-premises API and manually map IP information to peering groups. This setting requires a URL pointing to a custom web service implementation. For more information about creating a local service for the Meet eCDN On-Premises API, go to Work with the Meet eCDN On-Premises API.
7. Next:
   • If you're not using custom rules, click Save.
   • If you're using custom rules, click Upload fileImport.

You are ready to start testing Meet eCDN.
